Abstract

Terence Cuneo OBE, CVO (1907–1996) is best known for his railway pictures and for the trademark mouse which appears in all his work since 1953. He was a war artist and the official artist for the 1953 Coronation; he was commissioned to paint Royalty, ceremonial and military occasions, together with engineering, industrial, equestrian and wildlife scenes. Princess Anne unveiled a statue in his honour on the Eurostar Balcony at Waterloo Station on 29 October 2004. The paper describes his career with a representative selection of the paintings in colour and includes written contributions from Professor Frank James of the Royal Institution Centre for the History of Science and Technology, UK and from Tim Crichton on the circumstances of three of the paintings.
